just about every phper coming to the list has an urgent problem,
should you be given special treatment?

start SingTFW and reading about the relevant technology, e.g:

	http://www.google.nl/search?q=PKI+web+browser

and then determine whether your requirement is actually possible (in so far as I understood it),
from what I gather there is no way to 'sign' the data in a form, the PKI
is used to authenticate and authorize the HTTP connection - which will be
running over SSL, given that fact why would you need to 'sign' the form data?

some developer got laid off by an over priced executive who hired an offshore
team to replace said developer for a fraction of the cost, said team can't do the
work, and can't be bothered to figure out how, so they go to the nearest mailing list
to ask for a ready-made answer ... where they come across some talented developer
who has plenty of time to hand out high quality ready-made answers because he has
been recently laid off.
